Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what has been the real-terms change, expressed both as a percentage and in cash terms, in grant-in-aid allocations to each national museum in England between 2014–15 and 2024–25; and what deflator they have used in making that calculation.

DCMS publishes annual data for grant-in-aid, fundraising income and other income at national museums and galleries, alongside trend analysis of those figures. This analysis includes adjustments for inflation. The figures for 2023/24 and 2024/25 are due to be published in April 2026. Other sources of self-generated income are published in each museum or gallery’s Annual Report and Accounts.
